The renowned Grand Prix has been updated with a new rubber compound and different traction pattern. Known for its extremely long wear, the Grand Prix is a staple training and racing tire for all cyclists, from weekend warriors to world champions alike. Black.

Poly X Breaker is an overlapping polyester fiber yielding a very dense fabric with minimal space between each individual thread making Poly X highly resistant to puncture without impeding the rolling resistance.

Black Chili delivers the ultimate combination of tire characteristics: the smaller particles yield more points of contact with the road surface (offering enhanced grip), are more tightly bound to each other (reducing wear), and the resultant structure is more flexible (lowering rolling resistance).

Outstanding balance of performance and comfort.

I've got all three hi-end tire mnfgs. on our multiple bikes. Conti 4Ks,

Vittoria EVOs, Michelin Pro3. All have their uses, depending on ride & bike.

But if I only had to use one tire, all the time, and wanted all four things

covered, this is the one. performance reliability wear comfort

Very close to a 23c in handlingagility, yet less harsh for longer & multi-

day rides. Unlike a 25c, it doesn't make the bikes feel a bit sluggish.

Being a Conti, it wears well and very good against flats.
